Add this outstanding pendant to your collection! The pendant is hand made out of genuine sterling silver and multicolor inlay. Real Tiger Eye, Picture Rock, Black Inlay, and man made Opal are carefully set, while placed at the center of a lovely turtle design. Thin silver lines can be seen in between the inlay for a lovely look. In some beliefs, the turtle represents strength, female power and fertility. The turtle is also considered to be able to defy death. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked.

Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is October's birthstone. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens one's psychic and mystical qualities.

Tiger Eye stone contains a golden yellow reflection on a brown ground color. The most important source of tiger eye is South Africa, but it is also found in Australia, India, and California. It is believed to give courage, clear thinking, and protects from negativity.

“ This just arrived and I am more than pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it is. My son is going to love it. This is my 1st SilverTribe purchase but it won't be the last! The quality and value is much greater at SilverTribe than at the two other Native American sites than I have previously ordered from. ”
